ART TIP # 1 INSTANT COFFEE

Instant coffee added to any lemon oil , or wood conditioner darkens wood furniture, frames, knife block and anything made of wood. works on any type. It also works if added to acrylics oils and water color paints.

TRICK = take 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. of Instant

coffee to a whole tsp of warm water . This is a good sample amount to tinker with. Use it with a scrap material of wood or paint and test it on the wood scrap or with paint a paper towl. If it isnt dark enough , add another 1/2 tsp to the mixture. To lighten the shade add water instead. Play around with it. Not only is it organic , it smells good too.
